Trying out mac os

I recently purchased an older mini mac. (2005) with os x 10.3.7. I will be purchasing a new computer soon, And wanted to try out a mac. What upgrade do i need to purchase to be able to actually update, my web browser? I can't seem to do much with this old of an OS. Just looking for tips I realize its dated but still wanted to get a feel for how this OS runs. And it was cheap. Any help is much appreciated. I just have never used a mac before I been on windows forever and wanted to check out mac before i purchase a new computer.

If there's a physical Apple Store or third-party store which sells Macs nearby, go there and try out one of the display models. Since it's running Mac OS X 10.3.7, it's a PowerPC Mac; OS upgrades for it are hard to find and expensive.

Unfortunately there isn't . I live in a pretty rural area. That's why I picked this one up for $200 bucks to try it out. This is pretty much my options for trying it out without buying a more expensive model. Sorry I realize its outdated Just wanted to test run it a bit to get a feel for how the OS runs. Thanks for the reply
